One of my favorite times to view tank is at night when the whites fade down and the blue/UV lights are on. The corals have an amazing florescent glow and become extremely vibrant (who called for the black light party?!). I absolutely love it! One of these days I will have to go on a UV night dive.

There are a few theories of why corals glow under UV, the first being a layer that act as a sunblock protecting the zooxanthalle within the coral. The other theory is that the colors are used the ward off predators (after all most vibrant colored animals are poisonous right?) Either way it makes for an amazing aquatic display!.

Here is a quick cell phone video of my Nuvo 30L tank under the blue lights.
